In the past Digby relied on public meetings which have been poorly attended.

For the upcoming review, Digby Mayor Ben Cleveland asked staff to look at the survey created by Berwick in May of this year.

Although nothing has been approved yet by council, they discussed options at their regular council meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 5.

They are considering mailing out a couple hundred surveys to randomly selected residents of the town, perhaps using the list of accounts with the water commission.

Ossinger said they may also allow other residents to pick up the survey at town hall as well.

And every one will be welcome to speak or make submissions at a public meeting, which will be scheduled for this fall.

The Berwick survey is four pages, the first two of which contain information about the review, the town, the municipal government structure, the make up and duties of council and the costs associated with council.
